Apple To Cough Up $2.2M Over Misleading Australian iPad 4G Ads

Here in the States, we’re usually fine with faux-G being called 4G. T-Mobile does it with its HSPA+ service, and AT&T called it’s HSPA+ 4G for a long time too before it rolled out LTE. But I guess people are more picky down under, where the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had accused Apple of misleading the public with its iPad ads touting 4G service. According to [The Australian](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/Apple To Cough Up $2.2M Over Misleading Australian iPad 4G Ads), the company has now agreed to pay approximately $2.21 million to make amends, despite the fact that Apple had already agreed to refund customers who thought they would get 4G LTE service with the new iPad.
